The Wildflowers of the West

The beautiful region of our Mountain West is home to many of our treasured native plants. Gardeners in the region can easily establish a wild flower meadow, but certain procedures need to be followed.

While elevations and temperature ranges are widely varied, the most important issue is water availability. Wildflowers are tough, but like any plants, to become established, they must have moisture. Most importantly, plant your seed near the beginning of the rainiest season for your area. Planting can be successful in fall or spring.

The Safe Seed Pledge

"Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, We pledge that we do not knowingly buy, sell or trade genetically engineered seeds or plants.

The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities."
